to the world of Shannara. Only one character,Walker Boh a Druid, from previous
books is in this series. Kael Elessidil, brother to the current king, went on a
expedition thirty years ago to find some legenday magic. No one from that
expedition ever returned. Now the Wing Rider Hunter Predd found the body of a elf

marks him as an Elessedil. Kael had a old undeciperhable map that Hunter brings
to the Elf King. Walker Boh is called upon to translate the map. After
translating the map Walker finds out that he will need to cross the Blue Divide.
Something that no one has done and survivied. Someone else knows of the maps
importance that someone that is dark and ruthless the Ilse Witch, a beautiful but
twisted woman. Walker must find the magic first before the Ilse Witch does so he
can prevent her from using the magic for her own means. Joining Walker on the
journey are an elven prince, a Rover girl; a monstrous creature part man, part
shapeshifter; and Bek Rowe, who may unwittingly hold the success of the party in
his own hands with his magic and his past.

The Ilse Witch is a new book in the Shannara series. It covers land never
before seen before. I really like the book. It has a lot of action and some
terrible parts where characters die. This book kept me interested the whole way
through. I didn't really like the ending, it was very abrupt and didn't resolve
one of the major conflicts of the book. Overall I really like the book.
